Let's all cry for the teachers...

This is a pretty bitter sarcastic post- You have been warned.

I don't have anything against teachers. I have a great deal of friends who are teachers. I respect what teachers do educating the youth of America. I even wanted to be a teacher for a while.

However---

I am sick of hearing about and reading about on facebook how their poor summer break is ending. I didn't get a summer break. Why should they feel so bad for themselves after multiple months off and moreso why should I feel bad for them??? I will probably never get a "summer break" again. They get them every year! I miss my summers off. I bet most people in the work force do too. But do we complain? No. Because we are adults and adults have to work... ALL YEAR ROUND!

And another thing, you always hear how teachers are so underpaid. Well maybe that is because they don't work all year round. If they work through the summer- they make more money! I am college educated, work all year round and do not make as much as a teacher. And I'm not the only one. Take social workers as another example. We all knew what we were getting into. Some jobs have to be more for the love than anything else. But you can't tell me that with all the complaining done about teacher salaries that they didn't know in advance what the situation was.

So please- dont' complain to me that your precious summer is ending. When I get my summer breaks back- I'll listen. Until then, there will be no sympathy here. Sorry.

On that note- I will be on MY summer vacation from Friday till Tuesday. Till next time-- Keep it real.
